== Biography ==
Sharma was born in [[Muzaffarpur]], [[Bihar]], in northeast India. Her father worked in marketing, while her mother was a homemaker. Sharma's family traces its origin to [[Sikar]] in Rajasthan, and this [[Rajasthan|Rajasthani]] heritage which would inspire some of her later work in the music industry.<ref name=":1" /> She started singing at the age of seven, after which her family encouraged her to purse a career in the music industry; her relatives would also jokingly compare her to [[Sunidhi Chauhan]], a prominent [[playback singer]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/movie-masti/interviews/interview-with-banno-tera-swagger-singer-swati-sharma/articleshow/52004659.cms|title='बन्नो तेरा स्वैगर' ने बदल दी जिंदगी : स्वाति-Navbharat Times|work=Navbharat Times|access-date=2018-11-04|language=hi-IN|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180826210825/https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/movie-masti/interviews/Interview-with-Banno-tera-swagger-Singer-Swati-Sharma/articleshow/52004659.cms|archive-date=2018-08-26|url-status=live}}</ref>

With her father's support, Sharma began her education in music at Pankaj Maharaj, a musical school in [[Kolkata]], before going on to take a music course at [[Chandigarh University]], an institution long associated with Indian music. During this time she also worked as a playback singer, with most of her early work being dubbed over by other musicians or actresses.<ref name=":1" /> After she performed a number of devotional hymns before a live audience in [[Lucknow]], she received enough positive feedback to being producing devotional albums.<ref name=":0" />

After finishing her studies, Sharma moved to [[Mumbai]] to continue her career in music. She networked extensively, using [[Facebook]] to contact musicians for advice and to advocate for her ability to sing. In 2015 she was contacted by [[Tanishk Bagchi]] (of the group [[Tanishk-Vayu]]), a [[Film score|film score composer]] who worked extensively in the [[Bollywood|Bollywood film industry]].<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.radioandmusic.com/entertainment/editorial/news/180724-tanishk-bagchi-showed-me-the-path-singer|title=Tanishk Bagchi showed me the path: Singer Swati Sharma|access-date=2018-11-04|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181104050233/http://www.radioandmusic.com/entertainment/editorial/news/180724-tanishk-bagchi-showed-me-the-path-singer|archive-date=2018-11-04|url-status=live}}</ref> He commissioned Sharma to sing a romantic song for an upcoming film. The song, ''Banno tera Swagger'', was recorded and later dubbed over by Indian actress [[Kangana Ranaut]] in the 2015 [[romantic comedy]] film ''[[Tanu Weds Manu: Returns]]''. The film was a critical and financial success, and Sharma's role in producing a hit song for ''Tanu''<nowiki/>'s score led to a dramatic uptick in her popularity.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

Sharma has continued to record albums and done more playback work.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.loksatta.com/manoranjan-news/singer-swati-sharma-song-tu-haat-nko-laaus-super-hit-1779980/|title=Video : गायिका स्वाती शर्माचं ‘हे’ गाणं सोशल मीडियावर हिट|date=2018-10-28|work=Loksatta|access-date=2018-11-04|language=mr-IN}}</ref> She won a number of music awards in 2016.<ref name=":0" />
